Any Ideas For A Good Cheap CD Player For A 73 Cuda

[Sems Fir]

Hi Everyone,

I searched through the old threads but I wanted a fresh current perspective.  Can anyone recommend a good cheap cd player for a 73 cuda?  One that would fit without having to make any cuts to make it fit?  I don't need anything high end just something to listen to the tunes better while I cruise.  While the static from an original radio brings back memories I need something more modern.

Consider an IPod if you have RCA type connectors to your radio,,,which you will likely have if you are considering a CD player.   I've been using IPod in cars for many years now,,,even those with built in CD players.  Plug it in using appropriate cable and either lie it on your seat or mount to dash.

CD player?!?!?!  Nostalgia is great but if your going to modernize...modernize.  Get a digital media player with bluetooth..don't have to mess with wires n junk just pair with a smartphone n play whatever ya got. 

I put something like this $99. JVC in my daughters car, she was all about Pandora.  http://www.crutchfield.com/p_105KDX310B/JVC-KD-X310BT.html?tp=5684

I just put a new unit in my hardtop and have plans for the convert to install the same thing in it. Comes with a USB port where you can install a thumb drive .. . . Love it! I put one in my pontoon boat as well!  But if you are just looking for a head unit with a CD player, I have one will sell cheap. I also have a 6 disk player I would part with!

I just plugged a Bluetooth receiver in the back of mine in the aux holes and use a mp3 player.

Going to put this one in my car to replace the Antique Radio repop AM/FM. I don't recommend the repop but if you know anyone looking for one I'll sell them mine for less than half price shipped to anywhere UPS will deliver.
I'll update after it's in. I know that not all single DIN receivers will fit in the stock location. My old Rockford Fosgate fit no problem but I want a USB port like 4Cruzin mentioned and HD radio and Ipod input and control and...
